NAME
       libssh2_userauth_password_ex - authenticate a session with username and
       password

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<libssh2.h>

       int
       libssh2_userauth_password_ex(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
				    const char *username,
				    unsigned int username_len,
				    const char *password,
				    unsigned int password_len,
				  LIBSSH2_PASSWD_CHANGEREQ_FUNC((*passwd_change_cb)));

       #define libssh2_userauth_password(session, username, password) \
	    libssh2_userauth_password_ex((session), (username),	\
					 strlen(username), \
					 (password), strlen(password), NULL)

DESCRIPTION
       session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)

       username	- Name of user to attempt plain	password authentication	for.

       username_len - Length of	username parameter.

       password	- Password to use for authenticating username.

       password_len - Length of	password parameter.

       passwd_change_cb	- If the host accepts authentication but requests that
       the  password be	changed, this callback will be issued.	If no callback
       is defined, but server required password	 change,  authentication  will
       fail.

       Attempt basic password authentication. Note that	many SSH servers which
       appear  to  support  ordinary  password authentication actually have it
       disabled	and use	Keyboard Interactive authentication (routed via	PAM or
       another authentication backed) instead.

RETURN VALUE
       Return 0	on success or negative	on  failure.  It  returns  LIBSSH2_ER-
       ROR_EAGAIN when it would	otherwise block. While LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is
       a negative number, it is	not really a failure per se.

ERRORS
       Some of the errors this function	may return include:

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC - An	internal memory	allocation call	failed.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND - Unable to send data on socket.

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_PASSWORD_EXPIRED -

       LIBSSH2_ERROR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED - failed, invalid username/password
       or public/private key.
